I have noticed that reflections are not affected by specular maps, this is a problem because it prevents the strength or color of a reflection from varying across the surface of an object.

Let me describe an example: Perhaps you have an object that is only shiny on certain parts, and you use a specular map for it, the math for the reflections does not care about the specular map, and the reflections appear on the entire object, not just the shiny areas.
